A lefty who hit the mid-90s with his fastball, Aiken was the top overall selection by the Houston Astros in the 2014 MLB Draft, but did not sign after the Astros reportedly lowered his signing bonus offer due to concerns about his pitching elbow.

Jaylen Brown, Wheeler (Marietta, Ga.): A powerful wing player, Brown led Wheeler to the prestigious City of Palms Classic in December. The Wildcats – ranked No. 5 nationally by MaxPreps – are the favorite to capture Georgia's AAAAAA state title. Unsigned and uncommitted.

Malik Newman, Callaway (Jackson, Miss.): Bidding to become a four-time state champion, Newman is averaging 30.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game for the 27-3 Chargers. Unsigned and uncommitted.

Ben Simmons, Montverde Academy (Fla.): The Australian phenom is piling up 28.0 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.6 steals per game for the No. 2-ranked Eagles. A potential No. 1 overall draft pick down the road. Headed to LSU.

Allonzo Trier, Findlay Prep (Henderson, Nev.): Elite scoring guard pumping in 26.9 points per game to go along with 5.4 rebounds. The 6-4 Seattle native went for 50 in a November game against Westwind Prep and has helped the Pilots go 25-2 this season. Headed to Arizona.

For starters, the nation's No. 2 team has the consensus No. 1 senior in the country in Ben Simmons, a 6-foot-8 do-everything forward who averages 28.0 points per game.

The Eagles also boast the nation's No. 1-rated freshman in E.J. Montgomery, a 6-9 low block forward and defender who also can do everything on the court.

Montgomery, a lefthander, is longer than Simmons, and looks like he can block more shots.

But he can handle the ball, go end-to-end and pull up and shoot well from mid-range. He's fluid and athletic.

Once Simmons graduates, it will be interesting to see if Montgomery fills his void.

At this point, with so much talent on the Eagles, Montgomery is averaging just 2.5 points per game. His two biggest games came against nationally ranked opponents Bishop O'Dowd (Oakland, Calif.) and Paul VI (Fairfax, Va.).

Dwayne Bacon had an impressive weekend at the Nike Extravaganza, helping national No. 1 Oak Hill Academy beat two of California's top teams.

The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced 10 semifinalists for the Naismith Boy's High School Player of the Year award Tuesday.

Included on the list is 247Sports.com No. 1 prospect Ben Simmons of Montverde Academy (Fla.). The 6-foot-9 forward is averaging 28.4 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game for the Eagles, who are ranked No. 2 nationally by MaxPreps.

Finalists will be released Feb. 24 and the winner will be announced March 12. Past Naismith POYs include Kobe Bryant (1996), LeBron James (2003) and Andrew Wiggins (2013).

The spot also features Curry's father Del, ESPN personality Kenny Mayne, Robert Horry and Tim Legler. See the complete video above.

According to statistics reported to MaxPreps, Newman is averaging 29.5 points and 9.1 assists per game at tiny Downey Christian. Her highlights, which you can see below, have remained a viral sensation throughout the season.

Byron Cowart has been a well-known player on the recruiting trail since earning MaxPreps Freshman All-American honors following the 2011 season.

He has blossomed into arguably the nation's premier defensive player, courted by most of the country's top programs.

A four-year varsity player, Cowart totaled 185 tackles and 28.5 sacks. He also forced seven fumbles and blocked three punts during his time at Armwood.

Florida had been the presumed leader for Cowart for some time, and the 247 Crystal Ball showed the Gators as the team to beat.

However, Auburn gained steam late in his recruitment, after hiring former Florida head coach Will Muschamp as its defensive coordinator. Evidently that made the difference.

"(Muschamp's) a great guy," Cowart told AL.com in December. "He's like
me, but a little worse. He's crazy. He gets out there yelling, he gets
after it and I like that. He's enthusiastic and just out there. He's a
great coach."
